Moderator Syngman Rhee
The Presbyterian Layman July/August 2000 Volume 33, Number 4, August 4, 2000
Syngman Rhee “Pray to God wherever you go, and we will see each other’s faces in our prayers.” Those were the last words 19-year old Syngman Rhee heard from his mother as she urged him to flee the Communist regime that had killed his father. Eighteen days later, Syngman and his little brother crossed the border into freedom.
On the 50th anniversary of that exodus, Syngman Rhee is moderator of the Presbyterian Church (USA). “The only thing that sustained me then, and the only thing that sustains me now is faith in God,” he told the General Assembly. “In life and in death, we belong to God.”
That strong faith served Rhee well in early tests of his leadership. Rhee chose Rebecca McElroy, a director of the Presbyterian Lay Committee, to be his vice moderator, a decision that drew fire from the Witherspoon Society, and an unsigned protest that was circulated through the Assembly. But Rhee didn’t budge.
And when word spread that a demonstration inside Assembly Hall was planned, Rhee broke ranks with previous moderators by declaring that he would not allow it.
When commissioners appeared nervous over pending controversies, he led them in a hymn and called them to prayer. Exercising fair but firm control, he was decisive in his rulings, remembering that a moderator’s first duty is to ensure an orderly context for the work of the Assembly.
Declaring the Church’s faith, Syngman Rhee will not be driven off course by those who insist on autonomy. We believe he will hold fast to the tiller in turbulent times, and the Church that he loves will be blessed.

No matter what it was going to be sales y because the whole purpose of it is to sell a product. This is the commercial they made. It impossible for us to know their intent I personally think it was to go viral, which it did very successfully but the result addresses a very real issue in society that mainstream culture has a tendency to ignore and then attempts to sell you their product. A kind of “Now that we have your attention.” thing.

HOW TO Change Your Flair Highness scaleUsed to do buckets all the time but it was always messy. Found a more efficient way by making a small hole at the bottom of the bottle. Then filling it up with water and plugging the hole with your finger. I replaced the cap with aluminum foil with holes in it as a bowl. Light it up and remove your finger from the hole to let it drain. As the water drains out the smoke pulls in and god damn I a solid [9] every time. Destroys my throat tho so I stopped.Thought you would like it too
